The first thing I always see people say is plant a garden/trees or recycle, but I don't have land, and I live in a red state that seems to hate recycling. The closest place to take plastic last I checked was over an hour away by car.

I know anything I do would have a negligible effect, but I'm sick of not doing anything.

Also is there anything I can do about the heat without running the AC? I try to leave the windows open, but they're all on one side and don't seem to allow for much airflow that way.

Not why I'm so fixated on this right now, but I remember seeing an episode of an anime or anime inspired show where the the main characters are in some kind of mall and people are super fixated on these plastic wrapped burgers that have a small chance of being golden. Literally all I remember is that it had some kind of monster of the week element in the middle (it had some kind of rolling attack?), and when the main character gets a golden burger at the end, it tastes like crap.

Google has failed me yet again today.

Edit: now that I'm thinking of it more, I think the "monster" might have been some wildman that stole the food.

I know I'm a bit late, but does anybody feel like the entire internet has ignored a really weird aspect of Toy Story 5? I get that they wanted the characters to be more involved in the human's lives, but good lord, if my kid (I don't have kids) lost her toys and some stranger starts messaging them about meeting up to give them back (especially right after she got an internet connected device) I'd be insanely freaked out!

Same goes for the other girls parents. New toys show up, and a girl and her "mom" (yeah they look alike, but predators arent always stupid) claim to have been messaged by your daughter (despite your kid having NO WAY to have known how to get in contact with them) and the girl shows almost ptsd-like symptoms upon seeing these toys and denies wanting anything to do with them? Nope, nope, get off my property, lady!

I find it odd that every conversation about this film I've seen only talks about the tech addiction aspect, when every parent in the audience should be getting some spidey-sense tingles.

Apologies if this isn't quite the right spot for this, it's the closest thing I could find atm.

I live in the USA, btw.

So there was this series of like three or more videos on youtube that listed free things to do on your computer. Some were games, and I think some things were just weird rabbitholes to go down on the internet.

I've been trying to get youtubes search to cooperate, but it only wants to show me computer help and lifestyle stuff. I've even scrolled through a thousand videos on my favorites playlist, but so far nothing. It surely can't be some niche thing.
